Kashmir – The Valley of Flowers

I just got back from the “Heaven on Earth”. Kashmir – hard to put its beauty in words – is a valley surrounded by the beautiful Zabarvan Range. Often talked about but I had the first hand experience of spending some time with the flowers of the valley.

To shock you a bit, Daisies are a wild flower in the little town of Gulmarg!

Sharing some pictures with you all, straight out of my camera! Brace yourself – Here we go!

A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose – And as Kashmiris say – “Kar falima hama lo, Gulabo lo, Shar Tchalima lo, Gulabo lo” (When will you bloom, my Rose/The evil be driven out, my Rose)

Hopping on to Dahlia, Kashmiri Dahlia flowers are popularly known for its ‘dinner size plate‘ 🙂

Dare not leave the prettiest Sunflower… 🌻

BONUS! We have got some wild flowers that grow on their own and you can find them on roadside in the valley of Kashmir!

Aren’t they just adorable!

Let us know your Flower experiences in the comments below, we would love to hear!
